I have tried to send this message a few times. Hopefully my new address works this time.

 

 

 

Hi Geoff,

              I'm not a great surfer of the web so I would appreciate some starting points for the material mentioned in your post below, especially if it was botanical, if you could spare some time to send them. By the way it looks like we are getting a motorised microscope for taking slice photos. It should be fun to use.

Cheers,

              Will

 

 

Thanks Trish,

Let me know about the other one.

I photographed many of the old books myself but so much early scientific illustration material (like the Robert Hooke images) is now available for free download in high quality and of course it's out of copyright.

Cheers,

Geoff
